First sip is not terrible, but not the best. It hits with sweet through the whole thing, a bit of dinner roll toward the end, and a hit of carbonation acid right at the finish. That finish is probably what I find so off-putting. I didn't taste any of the grain asserting itself, but maybe that will resolve itself with a more manly swig.
Why not bring one to the show? So, a big swig.
Well, it didn't get rid of anything - it rarely does. Instead, it accentuates what is already there. The tip-in has a lacing of carbonation bite along with the sweet malt and a slight hint of citrus. Right in the middle, it gets watery and loses the sweet taste. Again, the rolls hit right toward the end (right before the finish) and then the finish brings the harsh carbonation icky.
Honestly, my description is probably not doing it any favors. It's not THAT bad, but its components are pretty bad.
